Nice to Meet You!

Hi, I'm Otie Beck! I'm a single mama of two boys, a bartender, and a life + health coach. Like so many women, I'm juggling work, motherhood, and the everyday moments in between while making time to rediscover myself as I navigate my second divorce.

I picked up golf at 40 during a season of rebuilding my life + rediscovering my identity. What started as curiosity became so much more. Golf became a place to challenge myself, embrace the humbling moments, find peace in the process, and reconnect with the woman I was becoming.

I don't pretend to have all the answers. I'm simply sharing my journey as I learn the game one swing at a time. Here you'll find humor, honest stories, beginner-friendly tips, behind-the-scenes moments at Viera East Golf Club, and reminders that it's never too late to start something new.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer, picking up a club for the first time, or simply following along for the stories, I'm so glad you're here.

Welcome to the Viera East Golf Blog!
